Esau

Esau (1898 BC-1751 BC) was the older son of Isaac and Rebecca, and the twin brother of Jacob. God told Isaac that the younger son, Jacob, would be the one to inherit Isaac's wealth, and, while Isaac favored Esau, Rebecca favored Jacob. Esau was convinced to trade his birthright to Jacob in exchange for lentil soup, and Jacob later tricked his blind father into making him his heir by pretending to be Esau. After Isaac's death, Jacob became the new head of the family, and Esau thought of murdering his brother, only for Rebecca to foil this plot. Later, Esau became quite rich despite losing out on his inheritance, and he discarded Jacob's many gifts meant to reconcile the two of them; however, Esau later reconciled with his brother.
